During COVID, several movies including “Soul,” “Luca” and “Turning Red” were sent directly to Disney+ and executives felt that inadvertently trained audiences to watch Pixar’s films at home.

Inadvertently my ass, executives wanted to pump the D+ numbers and now they cry they can't double dip on tickets and subscriptions. At the same time they want to churn out 3 pixar movies and 2 spinoff shows every year while "maintaining the prestige" and cutting staff.

I'm afraid I will never understand the executive brain dysfunction.

Lol that “inadvertently” caught my attention too since Disney was so loud about pushing people to D+
